The Neuqua Valley High School PTSA and the NVHS Guidance Department will host Dr. Robert Brooks (Harvard Medical School) and his presentation "Raising Resilient Children & Adolescents in a Stress-filled World" on Wednesday, October 14, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. in the Main Campus Auditorium. Admission is free. All are cordially invited. Description: Many children and adolescents experience much stress and pressure. In his presentation Dr. Brooks will discuss factors that help children to deal more effectively with stress and become more resilient. He will highlight (a) the importance of empathy in understanding and responding to youngsters, (b) why some children from birth have a more difficult time developing confidence than others, (c) the need to identify and reinforce each youngster’s “islands of competence,” and (d) specific strategies that parents and other adults can apply to nurture learning, self-discipline, self-esteem, responsibility, and resilience in children and adolescents.
